Another example is buying a new car, which will be explored in detail later on. There are a few options (e.g., Spain, Bulgaria or Italy) and a number of selection criteria such as cost, climate and how child-friendly it is. Or the assessment might involve where the family should go on holiday. This might involve big, important things like purchasing a home: What is our price range? What city/neighbourhood? Running costs (taxes, maintenance, utilities)? Proximity to daycare, school and work? Renovation needs? And so on. Virtually everyone makes overall assessments on a daily basis. This definition addresses both the meaning and the purpose of an overall assessment. An overall assessment means that a choice must be made between several possible decision options using certain criteria in order to achieve one or more objectives. In this book, the word has a more specific meaning. However, the term ‘overall assessment’ refers to a number of factors, aspects or perspectives that are brought together into a comprehensive assessment, an overall assessment. The Swedish Academy Glossary (SAOL) does not list a definition for the term ‘overall assessment’.
